Bug 177165 – sys-kernel/hppa-sources compile fails in arch/parisc/kernel/pacache.S

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description the55 2007-05-05 11:57:29 UTC]

Fresh install of Gentoo 2006.1 from Universal CD. I tried to use genkernel to build kernel - build fails. Didn't try to build it traditional way, only via genkernel. I will attach log, now basic information:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(Everything inside chroot in /mnt/gentoo)
1. emerge genkernel
2. emerge hppa-sources-...ebuild (I chose ebuild for which I had squashfs patch in distfiles from CD [4300_squashfs-3.0.patch.bz2], plain emerge hppa-sources didn't work, I received HTTP 404 when fetching squashfs patch)
3. cat /proc/config.gz | gzip -d > /etc/kernels/kernel-config-parisc64-2.6.16.22-pa11
4. genkernel all

Then - build error.
Actual Results:  
genkernel all said:

Additional info: I booted the CD choosing vmlinux64 kernel and took kernel config (/proc/config.gz) from it for genkernel.

[Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2007-05-05 12:53:41 UTC]

You (or genkernel) tried to build a 64-bit kernel using a 32-bit gcc (from the stage tarball). You will need to either build a 64-bit compiler (using sys-devel/crossdev) or just stick with a 32-bit kernel. Please mind that currently, Gentoo/HPPA does not support 64-bit kernels or userland. Marking this bug CLOSED/LATER because of this.

The squashfs problem is covered in bug #153457. You will need to edit the kernel config to make sure the kernel build system does not try to build squashfs support as squashfs on HPPA is simply broken with no known fix, patch or workaround, and a normal hdd-based system doesn't need squashfs anyway.

Thanks for your fast reply.
